Harold J. Laski: “Rousseau and Voltaire, even Priestley and Price, require something more for answer than unreasoned prejudice.”

The more equality there is in a State, the more use, in general, we can make of our freedom.

If no such news is at hand it will be manufactured.

That some sort of toleration was inevitable few, save a group of prejudiced irreconcilables, would have denied.

In a time of crisis, particularly, when the things we hold most dear are threatened, we shall find the desire to throw overboard the habits of tolerance, almost irresistible.
